[Harp-L] Christmas Jazz CD now available!

[Chris Bauer <chrisbauermusic@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi fellow harp-l'ers!

Just a quick commercial here for my latest release "In A Yuletide Groove".
 Produced by Rob Paparozzi, this record has 16 tunes, over 60 minutes of
swinging holiday tunes.  It's been featured on Jim Wilke's NPR radio show
"Jazz After Hours" and internet radio stations "Arise" and "Curt Jazz".

The reviews have been great too:

"Simply a solidly delightful mainstream take on holiday classics that makes
you smile from start to finish. Well done."  - *Chris Spector, Midwest
Record (Oct 28, **2011)*

"Bauer’s tone is strong throughout, and his use of the harmonica is
multi-faceted: clear single notes, big-sounding octaves, fast runs and
long, slow vibratos, it’s all here. He even uses a little multi-track magic
to provide his own 4-part harmony in a few places. Overall, his playing,
and the changing instrumentation and styles throughout the album make for a
record that will never get stale (hey, no easy task when you're playing
Christmas music!)."  *Jp Pagan, Harmonica Happenings* *Magazine Fall 2011*


"filled with new renditions of classic tunes that are sure to become
household favorites." - *Susan Frances, Associated Content (Nov 04, **2011)*

"Chris Bauer’s In A Yuletide Groove features his warm harmonica sounds over
a quartet that keeps things moving along winningly...keeping things – well,
in a yuletide groove."  -*Straight No Chaser (Oct 28,2011*)



"Bauer created an upbeat mood on Yuletide Groove that is part festive and
part kindled with a fireside glow. The tunes are presented from the
perspective of the harmonica and imbued with harmonious textures that are
both traditional and slightly off the beaten path treaded by those before
him. Bauer makes his own mark on classic tunes with his Christmas CD, which
can be passed onto burgeoning generations in his family and others."  - *Music
Dish eJournal (Nov 05, 2011)*



"This CD is exactly what it says.  The harmonica seems to be either loved
or hated by many jazz fans. It’s just the thing for this original take on
the usual Christmas CD. Chris never gets overly bluesy, and it’s a most
enjoyable harmonica romp thru the usual Christmas favorites."  *-John
Henry, Audiophile Audition (Nov **11, 2011)*
